Local Youth Selected for Wildlife Camp; Openings Still Available
Reggie Halfmann will participate in the Texas Brigade program this summer. He was selected based on his academic records, interest in wildlife, natural resources and leadership abilities.
The Texas Brigades’ mission is to empower high school youth with the necessary skills and knowledge in wildlife and fisheries, habitat conservation, land and water stewardship, team-building, communication, and leadership to become ambassadors for conservation in order to ensure a sustained wildlife and fisheries legacy for future generations.
Six brigade camps are being held this summer; two Buckskin Brigades, two Bobwhite Brigades, Bass Brigade, and the Feathered Forces (which focuses on quail and turkey).
Some openings are still available for qualified applicants. Participants must be between 13 and 17 years of age and submit a complete application for consideration. Applications may be downloaded off of the website, www.texasbrigades.org.
